Claudia Heinrich replied to Emily Burkett's discussion 'Pay It Forward'"I used this lesson to introduce exponential functions with my Algebra 1 class and it was one of those lessons that really worked! The video clip caught their interest right away. I made some changes to the original document that was…"
Kristy Walters replied to Emily Burkett's discussion 'Pay It Forward'"Hi Emily,
I would be interested in in the other attachment. I am taking the Algebra for All course and I am very interested in your lesson. I currently teach 7th grade and wouldn't be able to do this lesson but may teach 8th grade next…"
Frank Davis replied to Emily Burkett's discussion 'Pay It Forward'"I like that you are making math relevant to students and incorporating a movie they are familiar with. Students could see how they might go about changing the world by impacting others. Our they could see how many text messages chains…"
Brook Lestage replied to Emily Burkett's discussion 'Pay It Forward'"I love this idea! I plan to use it as soon as I can. We just had Rachel's Challenge visit our school and this would be a wonderful way to show the students how easy it is to reach many and to inspire!"
Craig Bowen replied to Emily Burkett's discussion 'Pay It Forward'"This site is great. If you are looking for some trig ideas, be sure to view the GI Joe clip about "spherical trig." Clip uses 3D projection to show angles being labeled with Greek letters. Again, great site!"
Lee Anna Strawter replied to Emily Burkett's discussion 'Pay It Forward'"I would like to see a copy of the additional attachment."
Claudia Heinrich replied to Emily Burkett's discussion 'Pay It Forward'"This is the original lesson on "Pay It Forward" referenced in the 5 day lesson plan on exponential functions.
This is a great lesson and great way to introduce exponential functions.
